How outlets framed it
All sources: Reports consistently state that flights were halted at busy East Coast airports in the US due to a fiber line cut at a construction site, causing a telecom outage.
Key divergence: Left-leaning sources, including The Hindu and Le Monde (English), attribute the outage to an Amtrak construction crew cutting a fiber line in New Jersey, while center-leaning sources like Reuters, CNA, and The Straits Times focus on the general cause of a telecom failure and cut backup fiber line.
